2015款大众夏朗继上月在线发布后在本届日内瓦车展正式与公众见面。新款夏朗的外观改款幅度不大，主要是采用了新的LED前大灯，Jakarta合金轮圈和哈德逊湾蓝和深红色车身涂装。更重要的变化是在车厢内，新车可提供5英寸Composition Color，6.5英寸Composition Media和Discovery Media信息娱乐系统。该系统还增加了MirrorLink技术，可以通过USB接口将智能手机与系统连接，从而将手机内的画面“复制”到系统触控显示屏上。改进后的信息娱乐系统不仅运行速度更快，而且可以通过触控显示屏操控和选择导航路线。2015款夏朗搭载的动力系统包括150马力1.4升220马力2.0升TSI以及115马力1.6升和150/184马力2.0升TDI柴油引擎，所有引擎排放都可满足欧6标准。与引擎标配的是六速手动变速器，也可选装六速DSG变速器，不过入门级柴油车不提供此项选装。大众还为该车提供了包括标配自动预防撞制动系统在内的更完备安全设备，选装件包括第三代泊车辅助，车道辅助，盲点监控和自适应巡航控制等。2015款夏朗将于下月开始接受预订，今年夏季开始交付。
2015 Volkswagen Sharan lands in Geneva with new engines
After last month's online reveal, the Volkswagen Sharan facelift has made its public debut this week in Geneva.
It takes a keen eye to spot the cosmetic tweaks implemented in the 2015 Sharan but this is because Volkswagen hasn't changed that much. They have added new LED headlights, Jakarta alloys and a couple of metallic body paints called Hudson Bay Blue and Crimson Red.
More significant changes have occurred inside the cabin where there are revised 5-inch Composition Color, 6.5-inch Composition Media and 6.5-inch Discovery Media infotainment systems. In addition, Volkswagen has added MirrorLink technology which allows the owner to "copy” the smartphone's display on the car's touchscreen. These revised infotainment systems are now faster not only when booting up, but also in touchscreen operation and when calculating the navigation route.
The 2015 Volkswagen Sharan facelift now has a fully Euro 6 compliant engine lineup encompassing a 150 HP 1.4 TSI, a 220 HP 2.0 TSI while on the diesel side there’s a 115 HP 1.6 TDI and a 150 HP & 184 HP 2.0 TDI. These work with a standard 6-speed manual transmission or with an optional 6-speed DSG which isn’t available on the base diesel engine.
Volkswagen has also added a bunch of safety and assistance systems, including standard Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. Optionally available are third-gen Park Assist, Lane Assist, Blind Spot Monitor and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), just to name a few.
Order books will open next month before deliveries start this summer.
